Bullock, who turns 85 on Monday, earns about $1,500 a month and has collected tens of thousands of dollars in retirement benefits.

He was indicted last week on three counts each of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and second-degree sexual assault. He is accused of sexually abusing a boy between December 1986 and January 1988 while Bullock was sheriff. The assaults began, court records indicate, when the boy was 10 years old.

Do you think public officials should lose their pension benefits once they've been accused of a crime? Or should a conviction be necessary? Or should they keep their benefits altogether?
